DIRTY SEXY MONEY (ABC) - Seth Gabel ("Nip/Tuck") is the first to be cast in the drama pilot, about an idealistic lawyer who takes on the job of tending to the legal and sometimes illegal needs of a wealthy and colorful New York family. He'll play Jeremy Darling, one of said clan. His character is detailed in the casting notice as follows: "20s. A cokehead wastrel. He is frequently seen in rumpled clothing, hung over, smoking cigarettes and pleading with Nick to get him out of a jam. Having won in a poker game a yacht filled with Liberian immigrants, Jeremy is arrested for human trafficking. He's completely oblivious to the concept of relative suffering and unable to conceive of a life worse than his, despite his obscene wealth. He fears he's the family disappointment and that his father hates him."

FAMILY OF THE YEAR (ABC) - Michael Lehmann ("Because I Said So") has been tapped to direct the comedy pilot, about a small-town clan that suddenly finds itself with competition for the title of the most perfect family.

FOOTBALL WIVES (ABC) - Brian White ("Stomp the Yard") is the latest addition to the drama pilot, a U.S. version of the famed U.K. soap. He'll play Kyle, the wide receiver fiance of Gabrielle Union's character.

JUDY'S GOT A GUN (ABC) - Colm Feore ("Empire") has signed onto the pilot, a procedural drama about a rookie female detective who struggles to balance her personal life as a single mother with her job as a police detective in suburban San Carlos. He'll play Captain Ruttgauer, who's described in the casting notice as: "40s-50s. A tanned surfer-type gone middle aged, he's the captain of the San Carlos Police Department. Smart, fair-minded, with a sense of humor, Ruttgauer seems to have an easy camaraderie with his cops and detectives. Ruttgauer sends his teams out to investigate a missing toe and a possible porn ring, and at the station voices his frustration at the many new and expensive improvements that fail to work."

K-VILLE (FOX) - Cole Hauser ("The Break Up") has scored one of the lead role in the drama pilot, a buddy cop show set in post-Katrina New Orleans. He'll play one of the two cops at the center of the project.

LAW DOGS (CBS) - Mark-Paul Gosselaar ("Commander-in-Chief") is the latest addition to the drama pilot, about a group of Los Angeles public defenders. He'll play a charismatic 30-year-old who leaves his life of privilege and opportunity to run for Congress in order to work as a public defender. In addition, co-star Janeane Garofalo has switched roles. Originally booked as the head of the Public Defenders' Office, she'll now play an intense and irreverent public defender.

THE MINISTER OF DIVINE (FOX) - Kirstie Alley ("Fat Actress") has been tapped as the lead role in the comedy pilot, about a woman (Alley), known for her rebellious younger days, who returns to her small hometown to be a minister.

MR. & MRS. SMITH (ABC) - Martin Henderson ("Smokin' Aces") has booked the male lead in the drama pilot, based on the hit 2005 feature. He'll play John Smith, the role originated by Brad Pitt in the film.

PUSHING DAISIES (ABC) - Lee Pace ("The Good Shepherd") has been cast in the lead role of the drama pilot, a romantic high-concept procedural about a man (Pace) who can touch the dead and bring them back to life. His character, Ned, is further detailed in the casting notice as follows: "Late 20s-Mid 30s, handsome and awkward, good-natured but self-contained. Ned is a professional pie maker who owns his own store, The Pie Hole. Ned has an unusual gift: he can touch a dead person (or animal) and have them come back to life, but if they live longer than one minute someone else, usually in close proximity, will die; also, if he touches them a second time, they'll die again, presumably this time for good. Ned discovered this gift and its drawbacks when he was 9 and his mother died while baking a fabulous pie, only to come back to life with his touch--only to die again when she kissed him good night. As a result, Ned is a withdrawn young man who loves pies and tries to avoid human contact, for fear someone else he loves will die. Ned has a side business with a private investigator, Emerson Cod, in which Ned brings murder victims back to life, finds out who killed them, then makes them die again and uses the knowledge, with Emerson, to collect rewards. The system works pretty well until Ned uses it to bring to life Charlotte "Chuck" Charles, the girl he's loved since childhood who was murdered on a cruise ship; unable to consign Chuck back to death, Ned lets her live, winds up telling her his secret, and finds that his life is about to become complicated."

SKIP TRACER (CBS) - Oscar-nominated director Stephen Frears ("The Queen") has signed on to direct and executive produce the drama pilot, about a Culver City-based rogue who locates missing people.

SUPREME COURTSHIPS (FOX) - Kurtwood Smith ("That '70s Show") and Zachary Knighton ("Life on a Stick") have both landed roles in the drama pilot, about the lives of six Supreme Court clerks and the judges they work for.

Washburn, 40s, African-American, round-bodied, and warm. Able to "read bodies the way most people read books," Claire is gifted at her job, but sometimes fears that getting too close to the victims makes her to care too much.
